The project
Gray Puksand designed Dakabin Youth Hub at the entrance to Dakabin State High School for Children's Health Queensland. Developed with youth stakeholders, it accommodates individual consultations and group programmes within a familiar school setting.
A gabled roof follows the site's topography and is divided at the entrance. A covered courtyard connects the two wings, with a herb garden serving the teaching kitchen. Cathedral ceilings and expressed timber shape the interiors, while deep overhangs, retained native planting, solar panels and efficient fixtures form part of the environmental response.
A compact reading and games nook built into the joinery.
Wayfinding signs beside a curved timber-lined wall.
